The concept of sustainable resource management can be applied at multiple scales.
Monitoring is an essential component of sustainable natural resource management
schemes, and as we begin to confront the need to manage natural resources at the
global scale, the importance of monitoring at the global scale is also growing....
Lead-free ceramics of composition Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃-(Bi₁/₂K₁/₂)TiO₃-(Bi₁/₂Na₁/₂)TiO₃ were prepared
using solid state synthesis techniques. The dielectric spectra showed a Tmax of more than 320 °C
for all compositions, and the transitions became increasingly diffuse as the Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃
content increased. A lower temperature transition, indicating a transformation from an ergodic to a
non-ergodic...
Seamounts are ubiquitous features of the seafloor that form part of the fabric of oceanic crust. When a seamount enters a subduction zone, it has a major affect on forearc morphology, the uplift history of the island arc, and the structure of the downgoing slab. It is not known, however,...
Crown profile equations were developed for stand-grown western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) in northwest Oregon. The profile model uses a segmented approach, dividing the crown into an upper and lower portion at the point of the largest crown width (LCW). The model explains about 86% of the variation in...
Continental precipitation not routed to the oceans as runoff returns to the atmosphere
as evapotranspiration. Partitioning this evapotranspiration flux into interception, transpiration,
soil evaporation, and surface water evaporation is difficult using traditional hydrological
methods yet critical for understanding the water cycle and linked ecological processes. We
combined two large-scale flux-partitioning...
